So, I just cracked the first few pages of Underworld, and you know what?
The last time I read this book, it was called Gravity's Rainbow!
Okay, not quite that similar. Lots of the same rythms and concerns, though.
Sort of what GR might have been (might have *had* to be) if Pynchon set it
in the US of A. Kinda reminds me of what a European writer Pynchon is, in a
Jamesian way.
And this was when all those Moonies were married? During the "shot heard
round the world" Game? Remarkable. I can't wait to see what he does with
it. What? Oh.
Don't get me wrong. I like Don. But I like him best when he's mimicing
Pynchon least.
lately listening exclusively to "The Who Sell Out",
